Southern African Leaders plan to hold an emergency summit on zimbabwe for now one thing is clear the ninety three year old mugabe is losing friends the war veterans who put him in power are now the ones who want to gone. Along skimmer is as a broadcaster based here in the u. K. His support is dwindling fast and he could face an impingement vote if he refuses to step down. I think im got pillars of support are dwindling as theres been pointed out by by many people this military coup has actually been more peaceful than elections in zimbabwe so this basically is generating the euphoria that you are seeing there is a lot of nervous excitement people are warming up to the army theyre looking at them as heroes weve seen one as president in karma. Doing mugabe to step down i think mugabe is lost in all of this hes fully aware that the army needs him. Or the successor so hes holding onto this card we were told the negotiations were centering around him being given safe passage and immunity but i think the latest as you can see from the reports is that hes insisting on finishing his term in office so i think those strategizing this military coup in a sense are now looking at the party route trying to have him removed as leader of zanu p. F. And this talk that they might actually have him impeached as early as tuesday so basically its a mexican standoff its a matter of who blinks first but i our sources are telling us the generals are not backing down and if refuses a graceful exit they will obviously humiliate him through an impeachment process and we all know people in the opposition and even within zanu p. F. Are fed up of mugabe so there would be a lot of support for any process in parliament. Amnesty International First three people are being killed in kenya when Police Clashed with supporters of Opposition Leader.

Japan has tabled a motion at the United Nations to try to extend the investigation into the use of chemical weapons in syria it follows last nights veto by russia of a similar resolution before the u. N. Security council our diplomatic editor james praise is at the u. N. Headquarters in new york james any sense that there are any closer to agreeing to the japanese resolution. Well it all depends on the position of russia we had to vote in the last twenty four hours which both failed one on a us draft or a resolution one of the russian draft for a resolution russia used its veto against the us draft the u. N. Trying to pick up the pieces in the last few hours because if they dont come up with something that passes something they agree to then the whole of the inspection effort the joint investigation mechanism which is first supposed to work out who is responsible for chemical weapons attacks in syria collapses thats why they say this is important not just for syria but for the whole effort around the world to deal with weapons of mass destruction in recent years the world had come to the view that chemical weapons were things that were outlawed there would be. A great deal of action taken against any anyone that uses them but that of course all of that is now open to question if chemical weapons have been used in syria and no action is taken against people so a last compromise resolution from the japanese this doesnt solve the problem for good it just extends the current mechanism for another for another thirty days that vote the last chance i think takes place in just over two hours time in the Security Council many thanks james bringing us the latest from the u. N. And in syria a car bomb has killed twenty civilians and injured thirty more and there as a province the attack targeting people at a camp for internally displaced in the province is northern countryside many of the casualties were women and children its reported i think is behind the bombing.

Particularly to the led government here and so those are things that the body needs to address but this is actually being seen as a significant victory for the iraqi forces that flag flying in the middle of is very significant still. During the five month battle for the city of. More than a thousand people have been killed and five hundred thousand. In the fighting.
